Cure for the Hooping Cough.

Dissolve a scruple of salt of tartar in a quarter of a pint of water, add to it ten grains of cochineal finely powdered, sweeten this with fine sugar, and give an infant a tea-spoonful four times a day. To a child of two or three years old two tea-spoonsful, from four years and upwards a table spoonful or more may be taken. The relief is immediate, and the cure in general within five or six days.
